feat: list test games per system and region

Browse Source 
The content list now covers the BIOS-required systems in order of the users a missing BIOS stops, one game per region where a profile ties the BIOS to a territory (PS1, Saturn, Mega CD, Master System, N64, GameCube, DS), the same title in each region so the screens compare. Systems no catalog romfetch reads covers are listed under uncovered with the set or game wanted and romfetch's error code.
